What you'll see and do
Sacred Valley
Your full day Sacred Valley tour includes 4 main sites: Pisac, Pisac Market, Ollantaytambo and Chincherro. Your guide will pick you up from your hotel lobby around 8am. You will be taken on a road that winds around the mountains north of Cusco. On the way, we will stop at a famous point known as El Mirador (Lookout Point) where you will gain some insight into the Inca history. From Here we continue on to Pisac giving you a tour of the ruins and allowing you to walk around and explore on your own for about 30 minutes. Afterwards we will head to the bustling Pisac market where you can spend some time walking around the market bargain hunting.After exploring, we will stop for lunch at a local buffet (lunch not included) where you can enjoy a wide variety of Peruvian style dishes. From here we will continue along the Urubamba River towards the town of Ollantaytambo. Once we reach Ollantaytambo, we will visit the ruins, an important area of Incan construction, built during the Inca’s heydays. This is an extraordinary Inca site because you can find rock formations representing the Inca god, Wiracocha. From here we take you to the ruins of Chincherro to explore before returning you to your hotel Cusco (or the Sacred Valley) around 5:00-6:00pm.

V family’s Cusco and Machu Picchu tour
We had a great experience in the tour. We were able to cover all the destinations as planned and we enjoyed the tour very much. Our tour guide Gio was exceptional and explained ver well. Because of Gio we learned about the places we visited.

Wonderful experience for our first trip to Peru!
I was so thoroughly impressed with this experience! Our tour guide, Aiben, arrived at our hotel in Cusco exactly at 0700 as described in our instructions. While we were driving, he was continuously pointing out interesting landmarks and sharing the history of the area. We had a small group for our tour which gave us plenty of flexibility when seeing sites. We went to see several sites including Pisaq and Machu Picchu. Aiben really went above and beyond for us, allowing plenty of time for us to take photos and answering all of our questions about the history of the area. If you're planning a trip to Peru, I would strongly recommend this experience.

Great experience, highly recommend
I did a 2 day private tour of sacred valley plus machu Picchu with the guide Rosbel. I highly recommend this tour and also Rosbel. He was kind and took care of everything including waiting at train stations with me, getting bandaids when I needed them, carrying my backpack, carrying my jacket on tours, and much more. I've done several solo tours as a 35 yr old female and I felt taken care of the most on this tour. Everything went more smooth than I could have imagined, I'm so thankful I chose this tour with flashpacker connect. Thank you Rosbel for everything, I had an amazing time.

Experiences of a lifetime.
What an amazing experience with a awesome tour guide Joaquin. We were fortunate to have had Joaquin be our guide for three excursions. He was very knowledgeable and attentive to our needs. I highly recommend Joaquin.

My Sacred Valley Experience
Most tours will take you to touristy and popular spots but what if your guide takes you to unique and hidden local places to experience real Peruvian culture, So that’s we did. Besides all the beautiful Incan ruins such as Moray, Salineras, Chinchero, Ollantaytambo, we learned the history and facts. Later on the day we tried the local corn and cheese (highly recommended) also we learned the whole process of textile making from scratch to the final product. Have you tried Chicha de jora? Wil took us to this local brewery and explained the process of making the corn beer, tasting the two kinds of beer (frutillada and chicha) Ollantaytambo has this massive buildings almost impossible to believe that Quechua people built this, after visiting the site we drove to the train station to take the train to aguas calientes to continue our journey through Cusco. I loved this tour from Flashpacker connect! We had a private bus they picked us up early to see all of sacred valley and it’s a must do trip with this company. My next trips in South America will only be with Flash packer connect. WIL our guide and Mario our driver were awesome individuals and gave us a lifetime worth of memories and experiences. Will is a great photographer and takes beautiful photos!

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sacred Valley 1 Day (Small Group or Private): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Sacred Valley 1 Day (Small Group or Private) cost?
+
Prices start at $103 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cusco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Sacred Valley 1 Day (Small Group or Private) take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cusco is not rushed.
Is Sacred Valley 1 Day (Small Group or Private) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sacred Valley 1 Day (Small Group or Private)?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Sacred Valley 1 Day (Small Group or Private) suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 16. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 10-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Sacred Valley 1 Day (Small Group or Private)?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cusco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cusco and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sacred Valley 1 Day (Small Group or Private) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cusco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cusco?
+
On Outty we rank every Cusco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sacred Valley Full Day Tour, Cusco: Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley Premium Day Trip with Meals, Excursion to Rainbow Mountain Full Day Optional Red Valley. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cusco?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cusco?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
